Animal ears
They'd been on his front steps, the pair of them. A big grey tom cat and a kitten that looked just like the tom. Sam brought them in, cleaned them up, named them Junior and Senior because he thought the big tom cat was the kitten's father. Granted, Sam didn't know much about cats, but it made sense to him. Senior and his dog Marv tolerated each other while Junior was scared of the little dog. Neither cat had really liked his father, but they'd both taken to Alan when he stopped by to drop off cat food and kitten milk. Quorra went past his storage unit and came in, showering all of them with love, being the cool sister to Sam that she was.
It took time, but the three animals set their boundaries, like where Junior slept on the extra pillow by Sam's head, Senior usually taking a warm spot well up from the ground and Marv sleeping at Sam's feet. Junior ended up being a lanky cat, getting his markings from Senior but Sam guessed he was built more like his mother.
It doesn't take long before Sam is used to being swarmed when he gets home, two felines twirling around his ankles and a single canine jumping up and down wanting attention.
It was a life. And it was his.
